What I actually want is to be able to display primary editor with bottom panels on the left screen and auxiliary information (project/class tree and probably context help window) on the right screen because there isn't enough screen width for editor and opened sidebar (wide enough to fit a class tree without horizontal scrolling) on a non-widescreen monitor. For now the solution looks like "move sidebar to the right and stretch qt creator window to be partially on second monitor". Probably sidebar can be moved to a separate external using the same trick as Konstantin.
